REFLECTOR: Exhaust systems

No burnt problem on our prop at 11".  That is where we started and have not
changed it.

I do not know what the minimum would be, but the farther away the better.

Mike,

So does this mean 11" is okay or do you have the burnt prop problem?

Did you start closer to the prop and cut it back to where 11" is the
minimum?

I'm trying to design a custom exhaust and since this is a "hot" topic wanted
to find out what the general experience is with "minimum acceptable"
distance to avoid the problem. Thanks for anyone's input.

Mark
